Jennifer Axelrood - Preschool

I began at St. Peter in 2019 as a sub, then a classroom aide, and now a preschool teacher. I love teaching children and have worked in park district preschools, taught a parent and me class, religious education for 15+ years, and a library story time lady! I have a BA from the University of Loyola in Chicago; I studied in Rome, Italy, at the campus on Monte Mario, which was a highlight in my life.

I live in Lake Zurich with my family. Brian, who I’ve been married to for 27 years, my daughter Elizabeth who is currently getting her degree in early childhood education and dance, and my daughter Gabrielle who is a junior in high school and loves the theater. My son Christopher graduated from Youngstown in Ohio and currently works in Wood Dale and lives in Chicago.

St. Peter has been so welcoming since I started working here, and everyone is so kind and generous with their time. The students and families have been wonderful too. It is truly a blessing to be a part of the St. Peter family!
